It's my first time growing I started to germinate my seeds in a damp sponge about 16 hours ago.
How long does it normally take for this germination tactic and what can I do to improve the quality of the seeds?

I bought two 27w CFL bulbs(which is equal to about 200w's) is that enough power?
I set my grow space up in a dresser in my closet.
I removed all the droors except for the bottom one, which I wrapped in tin foil and put the lights/fan etc in.

Does this sound like a decent grow space or am I going to need to make some changes to improve the quality of my future plants?
